Do You Understand?
They say if you're great at something NEVER do it for free. Well actually Joker said that in Dark Knight. But still, a great “mo” to stand by and force people to respect. But make sure you're really good otherwise, it won’t work.

Can I Blog? Yes I Can!
I have to admit that I really didn't know what 'blogging' or to write blogs was all about. As much as I like to read and follow celebrity based blogs I never really put much thought into their foundation or what they represented. As far as I was concerned, they were just sites I visited to keep up on celebrity business and as much as I love reading them I never thought of blogging myself. Not long after I got my websites, I started doing author/artist interviews/spotlights and for a long time I thought that was blogging...until someone politely let me know that it wasn't. Deep inside, I was feeling like 'dang, really? That's not blogging?' but at the same time happy that the person didn't straight out laugh at me for being so naive. It wasn't until I was asked by Vocal to be a blogger for their platforms that allowed me to see the big picture in blogging. Right then and there, my mind opened and visions of different avenues, side streets and highways were in front of me; I absolutely was ready for the ride.

The Price of Education and Teaching: Part IX
Because I really had no 'resources,' I went back to my husband's apartment but started looking for a place to rent close to work. It took me about a month, so I lived a month of almost complete silence and took my daughter out in her stroller so we could spend time together away from our hell; it was interesting that his side of the family never came around during this time, and not even before. I have a feeling my husband still hadn't told his family what was going on; it would've been too humiliating for him.

My Adventures as a Pizza Delivery Driver
Before becoming a pizza delivery driver, I really had no idea what went on, business wise at the store. I really did not know where that I would be going, how many pizzas, two liter sodas, twenty ounce sodas, or water, that I could also be taking to any of my many customers. Our Store also offers extras like plates, napkins, drinking cups, multiple pizza dipping sauce cups, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers.

On My Way (Work at Erwin's Orchard)
I was 18 when I got my first job. My friend Amber (mini munch) was working at Erwin's Orchard as a seasonal monster for when they did the corn maze and haunted house. I dig the blood, guts and gore, and the money would be kind of sweet so, I jumped on it the first chance I got. It was actually a pretty sweet gig, I got to work with my munchkin and my buddy Nate. I got my face painted up every weekend to go stand in the strobe lights in the middle of a maze, lurking through the corn and sneaking up on people from a distance. I made 3 people piss their pants, and old woman shit herself, I also almost got jumped by a group of drunk Mexicans who were carrying bottles through the course. Best. Job. EVER.

2 Big Don'ts and 1 Huge Do During a PR Blunder
It is an inevitable fact of business, especially in this day and age. Company scandals and bad PR moments are bound to happen. We business owners can’t control everything that goes on within or outside the confines of our businesses. We rely on tens, hundreds and sometimes thousands of employees. We are dealing with hundreds if not millions of consumers on a daily basis. This means controlling what goes on is nearly impossible.

Breakfast Sandwich Makers are Tools for Mourning
The Breakfast Sandwich Maker is a $15 tribute to American economic malaise. It hit the market at a time when the U.S. Department of Labor stopped counting people who gave up fruitlessly looking for work in their unemployment statistics in a desperate attempt to paint a rosier picture of the Great Recession. Well-paid talking heads in big coastal cities were telling average Joes and Janes in flyover country that the new normal was scraping by with a little help from the dole. And as so-called experts sat with garbage smiles and wagging fingers, telling flyover country to check its privilege as jobs went overseas and foreclosures stole homes, this machine made its debut on Meijer and Walmart shelves. And while its utility in the kitchen may be questionable at best, this machine and its generic knock-offs served a greater purpose: to help working-class men and women to grieve the passing of the Good Life.
